Barely a flicker was raised by the recent announcement of the retirement of Sue Roberts as CEO of the State Library of Victoria and state librarian. Just a year ago English-trained Roberts was talking confidently about the library's role in five years' time "as a cultural powerhouse, connecting with significantly more people across the state, nationally and internationally, through technology but also in other ways". A greater focus on specific audiences was foretold, with a dash of management speak, by way of "increased partnership and collaboration in order to deliver to all those needs".
